Latest Bucs Headlines
As the Bucs work their way down to the 53-man roster they have made another move to get there. Per Greg Auman of The Athletic, the team has waived defensive tackle Jeremiah Ledbetter.
Bucs are waiving defensive lineman Jeremiah Ledbetter. With everyone back from last year's line, tough battle for the depth spots there. Had one sack last year in limited playing time.

Ledbetter had an excellent training camp, carrying his added muscle well. He regularly got pressure up front and performed well in preseason games. He was recently featured in our “Most Impressive Article” following the teams win over the Texans.
A sixth round draft pick by the Lions, Ledbetter joined the Bucs in 2018 on the practice squad. He has been on and off the active roster within that time, recording his first career sack against the Lions in 2020. There’s a chance he could come back on the practice squad if he clears waivers, although he might want a fresh start. The Bucs have a logjam of talented defensive linemen, and Ledbetter could eye an opportunity elsewhere.
Greg Auman is also reporting that the team has waived offensive tackle Brandon Walton.
Bucs have waived offensive lineman Brandon Walton, who they claimed from the Steelers late in training camp. Played guard and tackle in preseason, so a good candidate to come back on practice squad.

Walton joined the team as a waiver claim from the Steelers in mid-August and played both tackle and guard for the club. He entered the league as an undrafted free agent from Florida Atlantic University in 2020. The Bucs have several more cuts to make to get to the 53-man roster.
